Is the difference subtle or substantial?
I love licorice snaps.
You could say I acquired a taste for them. Black licorice is my absolute favorite candy, so I’m always up for a new licorice adventure. The first time I ate Snaps, I thought I hated them. I thought they tasted like paint. But they had a tough toothiness that made them kind of irresistible. By the time I finished my first box, I was hooked. I don’t know what that paint thing was about. I love them.
A Troubling Tip
At CandyFavorites, a customer recently brought it to our attention that he noticed a difference in his Snaps. While the bag said “same great flavors, softer, chewy center,” the taste he loved was gone. Saying that the change was far from an improvement, he likened it to what happened with the new Coke.Watch movie online The Transporter Refueled (2015)
The New “New Coke”?
As a newly minted lover of Snaps, I was alarmed and tasted our latest shipment immediately. I felt like I could savor the old snaps, and these feel somehow less substantial and harder to hold onto. I’m able to go through a pile of them much more quickly than before. Which raises the point that I still enjoy them. I feel safer since the recall. But, as these things usually go, something seems to have been lost. I believe that luck does play a role in success, and striking just the right balance can make magic. That’s what I believe has happened with snaps. They’re still very good. They’re just not quite “The Original Licorice Snaps“.
Miss them
Loved them even the new recipe
Wish they were back
I can’t believe they have stopped making SNAPS!!?? What a shame and a big disappointment! I LOVE Snaps and have done so for years. I recently tried to purchase what i could at our local Wal-Greens who carried them but only to find the last of my sources dried up and no place to buy more! Another piece of history GONE!! It’s too bad that this generation will never know the true flavor & satisfying taste that comes from black licorice……sad! I hope & pray I can buy a large box of it before it is all gone!!! Sorry but that junk they sell – gummy worms and such taste like plastic and rubber….NOT FOR ME!!! I want my Snaps!!!
Please bring back the original Snaps, you have lost many customers
They were my one and only candy… if you are not willing to reproduce them, can you give someone else the recipe…..I would actually purchase in from you…. thank you, ALI miss the original SNAPS so much. I believe those who made the decision to change the original formula, when their customers refused to “like” and buy the new version in sufficient numbers, essentially said “We’ll show you..we’ll take it away from you totally and then you’ll be happy to buy our product however we want to give it to you.” Not me.
Perhaps sales would not be failing if they stuck with the original formula. Whoever convinced them to change recipes should be fired, the original recipe needs to go back into production, and the company can return to profitability.
